The Multi-colored Dinosaurs of Isla de Yoshi is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Yellow Yoshi with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 31.596 billion Isla de Yoshians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The minute, liberal, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, with Social Policy and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Donut Plains. The average income tax rate is 1.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Isla de Yoshian economy, worth a remarkable 6,404 trillion melons a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Gambling. Average income is an amazing 202,686 melons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

A historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, government adverts say that twelve lashes a day keeps divine wrath at bay, excessive wheelchair ramps on government buildings have been compared to theme park attractions, and wildlife have trouble navigating the electric fences surrounding national forests. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Isla de Yoshi's national animal is the piranha plant, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Isla de Yoshi is ranked 1,615^th in the world and 3^rd in Gay for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 16,839.48 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
